I don't think it will. I've looked at the notes in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/afs.txt, which says..

Quote:

This filesystem provides a fairly simple AFS filesystem driver. It is under
development and only provides very basic facilities. It does not yet support
the following AFS features:

(*) Write support.
(*) Communications security.
(*) Local caching.
(*) pioctl() system call.
(*) Automatic mounting of embedded mountpoints.

We need write support. Some of our servers are also very high traffic, and caching is quite important to us as well.

With the client from openafs.org, yes.

It looks like the host machine is having some problems. AFS seems to work until openvz is started (or at least until you try to go into /afs in one of the VPSes). It's loosing contact w/ our afs servers:

May 5 11:10:24 simlish kernel: afs: Lost contact with file server 141.211.xxx.yyy in cell umich.edu (all multi-homed ip addresses down for the server)
May 5 11:13:28 simlish kernel: afs: file server 141.211.xxx.yyy in cell umich.edu is back up (multi-homed address; other same-host interfaces may still be down)

So, maybe our patch needs some work.
Could this be due to the routing traffic through virtual interface (venet)?
Or maybe by binding /afs to multiple directories?
(mount --bind /afs /vz/root/777/afs)
